Surah Al-Mujadila is one of the great Madinan Surahs and carries unique virtue. Its benefits include:

• Reward for every believer and disbeliever in the Prophet (ﷺ) — the Prophet (ﷺ) said whoever recites it will receive ten good deeds for every person who believed in the Prophet and every person who did not
• Safety on the Day of Judgment — narrations mention the reciter will be among those who are safe on that Day
• Contains the divine response to a woman's plea — verses 1–4 — Allah heard Khawlah bint Tha'labah (RA) and revealed justice for her
• Establishes the rulings on zihar — verses 1–4 — the pre-Islamic practice that treated a wife as a mother, now forbidden
• Teaches the etiquette of gatherings — verse 11 — “Make room for one another in gatherings”
• Warns against secret talks of sin — verses 9–10 — the prohibition of najwa (secret conversation) for wrongdoing
• Contains the verse on Allah's knowledge — verse 7 — “There is no private conversation of three except that He is the fourth of them”
• Contains the declaration of Hizbullah — verse 22 — “The party of Allah — they are the successful”

Reciting it daily builds awareness of Allah's justice, protection from secret sins, and certainty in the final victory of the righteous.

Surah Al-Mujadila may be recited at any time of the day or night. Common practices include:

• After Fajr — many Muslims recite it in the mornings for barakah and firmness of faith
• Daily recitation in portions — as part of a complete Qur'an reading schedule (Juz 28)
• Before sleep — as part of a nightly recitation routine
• On Fridays — especially recommended for increased reward
• When facing injustice — the Surah opens with a woman's plea that Allah directly answered
• When facing gossip or secret talk — verses 9–10 warn against sinful secret conversations
• When reflecting on Allah's knowledge — verse 7 reminds that Allah is present in every private conversation

The key is consistency — even a few ayat daily with reflection transforms the heart.

Surah Al-Mujadila contains exactly 22 Ayat. It is the 58th Surah of the Holy Qur'an, classified as Madinan (Madani), and it is located entirely in Juz 28. It opens with Allah's direct response to a woman's plea — an extraordinary honour for Muslim women — and closes with the declaration that the party of Allah will be victorious.

The Surah is named Al-Mujadila (The Pleading Woman) after the story of Khawlah bint Tha'labah (RA), a woman whose husband Aws ibn al-Samit pronounced the pre-Islamic zihar divorce on her — declaring her “like the back of my mother,” meaning she was forbidden to him but not free to remarry. She came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and pleaded for justice:

“Indeed, Allah has heard the words of she who pleads with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah. And Allah hears your conversation. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.” (58:1)

While she was still speaking, Allah revealed verses 1–4 — establishing justice for her, setting a kaffarah (expiation) for the zihar, and protecting all Muslim women from this unjust practice.

The Surah teaches:
1. Allah hears every plea — even the quiet voice of a distressed woman
2. Divine justice is swift — Allah directly answered her without an intermediary
3. Women's rights are protected in Islam — the pre-Islamic practice was abolished
4. Every believer can appeal to Allah — no one is too weak to be heard

The name honours this woman's faith and Allah's response to her plea.

Verse 22 is the closing verse of the Surah and contains the famous declaration about Hizbullah (the party of Allah):

لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ... أُولَٰئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ ۚ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

“You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred... They are the party of Allah. Unquestionably, the party of Allah — they are the successful.” (58:22)

This verse teaches:
1. Faith requires loyalty — the believer's first loyalty is to Allah, above family and tribe
2. Love and hate are for Allah — the believer does not love those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger
3. Being Hizbullah is the highest honour — to be among the party of Allah
4. Hizbullah will be successful — both in this world and the Hereafter

The verse continues to describe the believers: “Allah has written within their hearts faith and supported them with spirit from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him.” This is one of the most beloved verses for the believers — the ultimate honour of being called the party of Allah.

Yes. This tool uses the Sahih International English translation — one of the most widely accepted, scholarly-reviewed translations of the Qur'an available in modern English.

You can read the English translation to understand the meaning, but the reward and spiritual benefit come from reciting the Arabic text — as with all Surahs of the Qur'an. English is a scholarly interpretation of the meaning; the Qur'an itself is the Arabic revelation. For daily recitation, protection on the Day of Judgment, and the special honour of being among Hizbullah, the Arabic must be recited.
